Resumen de La lógica fantástica en The Lost Room: una lección de los objetos para la imaginación creadora
The use of objects as a didactic resource has a long history in education history. Currently, theobject-based learning (OBL) methodology is the spearhead of this trend, which focuses on the materialityand immediacy of concrete objects in the acquisition of abstract cultural concepts. This contribution seeks tostrengthen object-based learning strategies by analyzing the imaginative and fantastic use that certain artifactshave in the supernatural TV series The Lost Room (2006): in it, the furnishings of an old motel room acquireextraordinary superpowers that defy the characteristics of space and time. After studying the way in which thecreators of the series attribute these superpowers, apparently randomly, it is observed that the use of analogies,metaphors and allegories prevails in the fantastic effects that objects have on reality. It is proposed to use thisstrategy to encourage creative imagination in formal educational contexts, through the OBL applied in primaryeducation.
